Ok, I seriously hope to not offend anybody with this thread because I want to discuss this in good fun, but...
what are the best examples of when we as Coaster Enthusiasts have been proven magically wrong? I've now read through a bunch of ride construction threads (preferably dutch ones. Fenix, Baron, Lost Gravity) and so far, every one of them has gone through the CoasterForce methamorphosis of anticipation -> extreme disappointment over vague information -> resignation over confirmed information -> rebuilding hype over first pictures -> insane anticipation before opening -> reasonable verdict. I'm not sure I have encountered a theme that reoccurs this precisely and perfectly in any community I have ever been on
I'm not even excluding myself from that one. Two months ago, I was totally convinced by the possibility of F.L.Y. opening this season. At this point, I'm wondering about how ridiculously stupid I was, because now it seems to be super obvious how that can't be the case. Well, hindsight is always 20/20 they say. But what's the reason so many enthusiasts seem to be so interested in judging stuff way too early, on way too little information, just to being proven wrong over and over again? Again, I'm just trying to, I don't know, "explore" this reoccurence in good fun because it's really freaking funny.
